Download Twitter GIFs
Summary
TwitterShots 2026.8.15 launches Download Twitter GIFs — paste a public tweet link, preview the looping MP4 X uses for GIFs, then download MP4 or convert to GIF. Free on iPhone and desktop.
What's new
X does not serve GIFs as static images. Uploaded GIFs are animated_gif media that play as silent looping MP4. This tool finds that clip, previews it, and lets you keep the video or turn it back into a .gif file.
- Preview the official looping MP4
- Download MP4 with one click
- Convert to GIF in the browser (free)
- Regular tweet videos still go to Twitter Video Downloader
How to download a Twitter GIF
- Copy the tweet URL from X (Share → Copy link).
- Open Twitter GIF Downloader and paste the link.
- Click Get GIF and wait for the looping preview.
- Tap Download MP4 to save the video, or Save as GIF to convert it in the browser.
